Enough already!

I am so, so, so sick of bugs in my house! :( Sad, slow tears run down my face.... ok, not really, but I really am sitting here with a definite mope on my face (can you even say that?) at the thought of how sick I am of bugs!

I don't know what is going on in our building, but apparently, everyone from our school is over-run with cockroaches. I love Joel, but have you ever seen the couch and the floor around his feet after he eats chips? Yeah...so, I thought that maybe those last few months he had in Angola without the maid and me were to blame...but, apparently it is not his fault. Sorry for doubting you, Joely.

I swear I am not being a baby about this. It's like, 50% of the time that you open a drawer or a cupboard, or move a shoe on the floor or a jar on the counter, or when you go to PUT THE BABY DOWN ON THE FLOOR- there's a freaking roach! We've been fighting them since the day we got back, when I came in, saw a million in every direction, had a break down, said I wanted to leave, and started cleaning.

There are fewer around now, but, they are still everywhere. And the worst part is that you see big ones now and then, but you see the little baby ones ALL THE TIME. Which means there are like nests or something just spitting out more and more cockroaches all the time. IN MY HOUSE.

I read something somewhere the other day that was something along the lines of, "Have you ever watched a roach die from being sprayed? They die a physiological death- don't use these chemicals in your home! Imagine what they are doing to you... " To the person who wrote this... I only have to ask... have you ever LIVED with roaches in your home at every freaking turn??? There is no way to get rid of them! You have to kill them like that, because they don't die from anything else!!!

The worst part is that right now, if it's not a roach, then it's an ant or a mosquito. It's to the point where I feel like I have bugs crawling on me all the time. And then of course, we did have some bug in bed, which covered my legs with little red bites, and got Beni's face twice. It's just, just... enough already!!!!! :(
